Radioactive Waste Leaking From the Hanford Nuclear Reservation

The US Department of Energy has admitted that there is a leak at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation, in Washington.

At least six, of the one hundred and seventy-seven, tanks are leaking radioactive waste, in the soil.

Estimates are that at least three hundred gallons a year, have been leaking.

While they say the waste hasn't reached ground water yet, it is only a matter of time.

Nearly a million tons of nuclear waste is kept at the facility, near the Oregon border.
